Toughest Course Today NCM

[cbt arms sub tech]

Just curious on a debate concerning what soliders believe is the toughest course presently offered to NCM's within the CF today, whether being SAR Tech's, Pathfinder Course's, Intel Course's....Experience from our regular force soliders would be appreciated....

Timmies Qualification. Gruelling lifelong course. If you fail, well... you're done.  :-\

Toughest based on what criteria?  Length of the course? Physical demands? Mental demands? Number of specialized skills required to master in order to pass?  Not to mention the fact that not every patherfinder will have completed the SAR Tech course (or SOAC, or Clearance Diver etc.) and visa versa.  Unless there are a large number of persons out there in the CF who have completed say 2-3 or more of these highly demanding courses, all this thread has the potential to do is delve into a pissing match over who has the bigger set of cojones for completing course x vice course y.

I think your Spell Check isn't working too good. 

My Lobo Tommy is really a kinder, gentler wolf; as per the directives of the Reigning Liberal Party of the day.

I've had more lobotomies I should be the CDS by now.

Well, I thought that my UWKF (Underwater Knife Fighting)course was a bit challenging...but I hear SPSS (Supersonic Parachute Scuba Sniper) is hard too.



Is there any point to this thread?

I'll take a stab at it for you:

Most grueling physical: Patrol Pathfinder
Most grueling mental: Physcians Assistants course (Med Tech 6B) 50 weeks of constant classroom learning and testing, 48 weeks of clinical rotations followed by 2 weeks of oral, practical and written exams.

Course which should be harder: PLQ common.

just when this thread was nicely off the rails and there was no hope of any badge-holders havin' a bun-fight. Siiigh...

We know, like all officers, all mods have had a lobotomy.

Well, that would be a pretty tough course still.

I was always told the the cook's course was the hardest. Why? No one has ever passed.

Just kidding cook-ies. I was dying to use that line online, as I've gotten so many miles out of it old-school (verbally).
